Perhaps this was mentioned early on, and if so, I apologize: I have been reading some of the older articles on Alexandra’s murder and came across something that I don’t remember seeing before:
“The case is being investigated by Michigan State Police, but the initial 911 calls were received by the Oakland County Sheriff's Department 911 operators.
One of the calls is from a man who says Brueger was laying in his yard and she had been shot a couple times.
The man came to see what was happening after hearing shots.
‘I was down at the pond and I heard bullets,’ is how he describes what happened.
He also said he thought she had gotten out of her [it sounds like the witness says “A car” in the recording, IMO] car and someone shot her. He then tells the operator that he has to go and help her, but that he cannot take his phone with him. He does keep the phone link open at the request of the operator.’” (BBM)

The article is dated Aug 1, 2016. You can listen to the 911 call at the above link.
I wonder how sure the witness was about Alexandra possibly getting out of a car (he sounds pretty sure of it in the 911 recording, IMO). And could this be one of the reasons why LE have said (“I think it would be irresponsible to say that it couldn't be random because it's a possibility, but I think from what we've found on scene and some of our gut instincts, and past incidents, she knew who her attacker was," MSP Lt. Michael Shaw said)
she likely knew her killer (i.e., she wouldn't have gotten into a car with a stranger)?

If so, perhaps the killer stopped Alexandra, forced her into their car with the shotgun, and when she tried to flee (which they probably were not expecting), they killed her.
